I found protection and solace in the Jamaican community, the Yardies don't take shit and will f**k you up if you mess with them. I hung with them in the 70's/80's when I was in the UK and will run round Fulham road fighting pitch battles with the skinheads and NF (National Front) crews. I am still good friends with many today, I seek them out anytime I go to the UK for visits.

He said the British stank but not stink! This was something in the past. Before the war practically no British homes had running hot water (taps)! After the war in the late 1940's to early 1950's half of London households had no hot water taps! Almost everybody was living on edge due to extreme poverty caused by the wars. Bathing was optional. Bathing even once a week was a luxury some people couldn't afford! Europeans didn't take to slavery and colonisation because they were evil but only because of necessity and easy means to survival. Living in a hostile environment where one has to pay for ever changing environmental conditions with hard labour has always been a challenge. Europeans had to accumulate enough food and coal( no gas at the time) in order to survive the yearly unbearable winter! Those people in the warm climate never experienced such environmental hostility! I wonder how often the colonials would have bathed if it was the other way around with similar economic strains! Environment shapes human behaviour! I don't condone to what Europeans did back then but I understand. What pisses me off is racism and hostility of this present Western generation living in luxury refusing to accept that we in the West have to stand on the shoulders of others to become what we are today!

I feel both your conversations elicit the present African worldview, well at least in my eyes. One is a need for alertness and at times enforced redress for those who have done us wrong in the past ( or presently), whereas the other is a kind of nonchalant view of gripes held or atrocities committed in the past, with a more optimistic outlook of the future. To be honest, I'm quite torn between the two.

@@User-qh3eg Yeah Africans had slaves but slavery in Africa was not the Chattel slavery practiced in western countries. The fact that Europeans also included race and skin color to slavery made slavery even worse. Europeans viewed Africans and dark skin people as the only group of people who should be enslaved. Also saying Africans sold each other is actually vague considering back in the days, Africans didn't see themselves as Africans or Black people. They were divided by tribes. Even today, some Africans don't see themselves as Africans or Black people but recognize themselves by tribal group.

It's time we start focusing our attention on regulating the military industrial complex government issued contracts. I say, do background checks on company leaders, owners and funders, make them available for public view. They should be considered as government workers since they get funded by tax dollars and sell their ideas with the said intention of protection for the country they are dealing with. Have you ever thought how that company leader thinks? Have you ever wanted to know how they view people and what their beliefs are? I guarantee you if we knew that we would not be "test subjects". We would be able to link what ever ill issue we are facing and put a face on a criminal, a terrorist and a murderer. You see people like Jeffery Epstein, they died because these are the people who needed to get protected. I want you to ask your self "If a criminal like this can get a contract from the government, then WHY CAN'T I" ask yourself "why these people pocket their CEO's billions". Don't you want that money? Don't you want the people representing you in defense of your country to know and have compassion for the people they are defending? These people should be known like you know your president and if you don't like them "impeach" them.✌️
